MILK-BOTTLE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK J. KENDRI K, a citizen of the-United States of America, residing at the city of Schenectady,- in the county of Schenectady and'State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Milk-Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

I have invented a new and useful improvement in bottles adapted to hold milk or other fluids.

My invention relates to packages con structed of paper or pasteboard, or similar substance, made impervious to water, and the object of my invention is to provide a bottle constructed of paper, pasteboard or other light, inexpensive material made impervious to water and provided with a closure which will engage the sides of the package when-pressed therein, and which closure cannot be removed without destroying or tearing the package; together with such elements and combinations as are hereinafter more particularly set forth and claimed. I- accomplish these objects by means of the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a plan partly in section. Fig. 2 is an end elevation with parts broken away. ,Fig. 3 is a section through the closure with parts. broken away. V

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

I prefer to make my package of a conical shape, as shown in Fig. 1; The walls are less likely to be crushed in shipping than when the package is of a cylindrical shape; the cones are conveniently and quickly packed for shipment and they are easily handled. S

In the cone, A, I place a closure, B, provided with an annular flanged edge, C. The edge of the flange, C, is provided adapted to engage the sides of the cone,

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed January 7, 191a.

in Fig. 1. The closure, B, is preferably made of some I light, resilient substance which will, when pressed in position, become raised at the central portion toward the apex of the cone, the flange, G, and the lip, D, being thereby drawn into and toward the axis of the cone, and when the operator removes his fingers from the closure and thus removes the pressure, the resiliency of the closure will cause the flange to return to its normal position. The lip will then penetrate the sides of the cone, and the flange, C, will closely engage the sides of the cone throughout the whole extent of the flange. There can be no leakage because the contents are held securely there- 'in by the closure placed in position as described. I preferably infold the edges, E, of the cone as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. When it is desired to take out the fluid from the cone the operator cuts, tears or breaks a hole at the apex thereof and causes the contents to flow therefrom.

It is apparent that the same package cannot be used twice for conveying milk and thus the uncleanly and unhealthful custom of using, a second time, a package-in which milk or cream has been carried, is prevented.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A conically formed bottle made of light fibrous material, impervious to water, with a closure comprising a thin resilient disk, an annular flange at the edge thereof closely engaging the sides of the bottle; an outwardly projecting lip around the edge of the flange adapted to penetrate the inner walls of the bottle when in position, substantially as described. a

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FRANK J. KENDRICK.
